For over a month now, I have been trying to find a solution to an error message I get whenever I try to upload certain videos. I can upload YouTube videos, but every time I try to upload a video from my computer I get "Warning: popen() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/mydomain/public_html/bx/flash/modules/video/inc/functions.inc.php on line 203" I have contacted my host and they have enabled popen, but I am still getting the error message. When I test the settings I get the below results:
PHP INI settings
safe mode =
disabled functions =
max execution time = 350
post_max_size = 100M
upload max filesize = 100M

But when I check the php settings in the admin panel under host tools, these are the setting per Boonex:
"disable_functions = show_source, passthru, popen, proc_open - FAIL (must be = )"
I am somewhat confused. I am able to upload videos using Coppermine and PHPmotion. I have tried to compare and see what the differences are, but because I am not a programmer I can't figure it all out. I have the php.ini installed in the public_html and Boonex root directories. I looked in the php.ini file, found the below and figured if I could change the path, that may solve my problem. Is my thinking correct, and if so what would I change it to?
; UNIX: "/path1:/path2"
include_path = ".:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php"
I do use shared hosting, and they are bending over backwards to help me resolve this problem. Is there something else I need to ask my host to do?
Thanks!
